Episode 4 of the Right People Right Places Podcast drops today! ?? ?? Unconventional Road To Talent Acquisition Emily's journey into talent acquisition was unique, starting with a marketing degree and exploring various career paths before finding her passion. -She talks about how talent acquisition often finds you rather than being a planned career choice, as there's no specific degree or specialization for it. -Key advice includes: 1) The importance of trusting the process and being open to detours or side steps in one's career journey. 2) The value of taking chances on candidates with potential, even if they don't meet all job requirements on paper. 3) The need for talent acquisition professionals to educate organizational leaders on the benefits of developing talent and taking chances on promising individuals.

What kept you up last night? In talking with CEOs of small to midsize companies, I've found a consistent theme. What do they lose sleep on? This is what I found that keeps them up...having: ?? The wrong person in the right seat. ?? The right person in the wrong seat. ?? The wrong person in the wrong seat. It all boils down to people and the work they do or aren't doing. ?? The wrong person in the right seat is usually the person that is getting results but creating a toxic work culture. ?? The right person in the wrong seat is typically someone that has great skills and character but was hired for the wrong position. ?? The wrong person in the wrong seat is just that. What's the remedy for this cause of sleepless nights? ? Hiring the right person for the right seat. Need to get some sleep? Rapido Talent can help ???? ???????????? ??

Internal recruiters miss things. I know this is hard to hear but it has to be said. They are missing out on hiring high performers and in some cases don't even know it. It's not a mystery. The reason behind this is pretty clear. Let me explain. I speak from experience having spent a decade inhouse and another decade on the vendor side. As an internal recruiter, there are multiple demands on your time that typically take you away from sourcing and targeting top talent including: ?? Managing high req loads and reviewing 100's of applicants. ?? Managing multiple stakeholders and collaborating with HR functions. ?? Screening candidates, submitting to hiring managers, and following up. ?? Dealing with bureaucracy, compliance, new system implementations, etc. To add to the list, internal recruiting teams are running leaner than ever before with the help of AI but even then... there's just too much to do. ??♂? The point I'm making is that if you're not ahead your behind. Typically internal recruiting functions are are not being proactive and are reacting to what is in front of them. The problem with this is your competing with a marketplace that is all doing the same thing with no leverage. ???? Companies that will win the war for talent will effectively leverage niched down recruiting vendors that are recruiting for roles 6-12 months out. Are you reacting to needs or having conversations today with top talent? If not, you will lose and it won't be pretty. ???????????? ??

What’s the biggest obstacle in hiring high performers? It’s not the economy, Trump’s tariffs, Elon Musk, or the Dow or Nasdaq plummeting yesterday. The source of the problem points back to one thing… ?? Toxic hiring managers ?? Hiring is a skill and all too often, I’ve seen and continue to see great individual contributors put into management positions without the skills to ?? Lead people and hold them accountable ?? Hire A players and develop winning teams Like a bad diet that’s left unchecked will inevitably lead to severe health problems so it is with bad hiring. ? Hiring is a skill and what you don’t know can hurt you. A hiring manager is the gateway into your organization and if they don’t know how to hire top talent… you are in a world of trouble. Bad hiring is more expensive than paying a partner like Rapido Talent to help you identify and integrate talent into your organization. Want to avoid unknowingly building a toxic workplace that may cost you turnover and the eventual demise of your company? Sounds over the top but I’ve been doing this long enough to see companies rise and fall on bad hiring. Trust me and look no further than Rapido Talent to help you find the best and the brightest. ???????????? ??
